§ 4-280-180 — Subscriber and user fees

4-280-180 Subscriber and user fees.

A. By accepting a franchise granted pursuant to the terms and conditions imposed by this chapter, a grantee agrees that the city shall have the authority and right to regulate grantee's cable service rates. B. All charges to subscribers and users shall be consistent with a schedule of fees for all services offered as established by the grantee. C. A grantee shall not, with regard to fees and any other conditions of service, within the entire franchise area, discriminate or grant any preference or advantage to any person; provided, however, that a grantee may establish different rates for different classes of subscribers or users, provided that the grantee not discriminate between subscribers or users of the same services. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent a grantee from offering promotional or bulk discount rates so long as such discounts are available in a uniform and consistent manner in accordance with existing law. D. Grantee may, at its own discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner, waive, reduce or suspend connection fees and/or monthly service fees for promotional purposes.
